Stud/8 tourney hand: aces up vs. open pair of fives
Value-bet the end here? Take the free showdown because Villian will only call with the low or a better high hand?
A more general question: do you play big pairs any differently in a tournament situation than a ring game?

Re: Stud/8 tourney hand: aces up vs. open pair of fives
Bet the river.Your hand is suspect since you raised on 3rd in a steal position.He should call you with a wide range of high hands worse than yours.
If he raises,call & hope he has a low &/or a worse high than yours. |

Re: Stud/8 tourney hand: aces up vs. open pair of fives
Looks good. Definitely raise 3rd here with only a 7 and the BI left. Betting the whole way is good...I'm not worried about his fives and you've got a better two pair anyway (I put him squarely on a low draw). Definitely bet the river--pretty doubtful you'll get raised (and if you do, very unlikely you'll get scooped).

[/ QUOTE ] Well, if you get raised, the chance that you will get scooped is not that unlikely. But it's surely not likely enough not to call. But yes, the river is a clear value bet. He will definitely call with a worse two pair. |
